VIDEO: Solo overnighter, first sock use

Spent Saturday Nov 3 out at Miquelon Lake. There was a freezing rain warning and 100% humidity but the temps were pretty good; it hit -5c or 23f through the night and we never did get ant rain where I was. It was my first use of the Warbonnet Travel Sock and I must say I was impressed. The temps stayed nice and warm inside the blackbird. In the morning I had a fair amount of moisture on the sock, so I may have had it too secure for the temperature. I think next time I'll keep it open a bit.
This is my report on the one nighter...

Colour me green with envy that you've got snow on the ground in your area.

I noticed that you put your tarp up before you installed your underquilt and sock. Unless it is raining, I put up my tarp last so that I have easier access to installing underquilts and any other accessories.

Have fun this winter with your hammock adventures.

Cheers

Brian

Normally I would wait to put the tarp up but it looked like it could start raining at anytime so I threw it up just for protection. I'm too tall to be hunched over under the trap while setting up!!
